„Supremely humane…. Kay leaves us with a broad landscape of sweet tolerance and familial love.”--The New York Times Book Review

In her starkly beautiful and wholly unexpected tale, Jackie Kay delves into the most intimate workings of the human heart and mind and offers a triumphant tale of loving deception and lasting devotion.

The death of legendary jazz trumpeter Joss Moody exposes an extraordinary secret, one that enrages his adopted son, Colman, leading him to collude with a tabloid journalist. Besieged by the press, his widow Millie flees to a remote Scottish village, where she seeks solace in memories of their marriage. The reminiscences of those who knew Joss Moody render a moving portrait of a shared life founded on an intricate lie, one that preserved a rare, unconditional love.

It is not easy to travel in this country. Black guys like him. People always think they are going to wrong or they've done something wrong or they're lying, or about to lie, or stealing or about to steal. It's no fucking joke just trying to get about the place with people thinking bad things about you all the time.
